PRESS Anon The strain was showing on the faces of the nervous gunners, waiting impatiently for H-hour behind their field batteries and in the cramped confines of battleship turrets. Finally the order was given, and hell was unleashed on the proud, unsuspecting Russian forces. Caught totally by surprise, the Czarist forces were scattered to the winds. The White Eagle banner now lay crimson-stained and trodden into the earth. The once arrogant, all-assuming commander of Russian Army Group South was hastily recalled for a personal audience with the Czar himself. The general sat dazed on the Moscow bound carriage, contemplating the use of his gold-plated pistol for one final task. How could he have made such a gross underestimation of the resolve of his foe?
